An italic serif with a calligraphic skeleton and distinctly flared stroke endings that widen into soft, bracket-like terminals. Curves are generously rounded and the stroke modulation reads as smooth rather than sharp, giving counters an open, flowing feel. The slant is pronounced and consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, with lively entry/exit strokes and a slightly elastic rhythm that varies in stroke width and spacing from glyph to glyph.
Well suited to editorial typography where an italic voice needs to carry personality—magazine features, book interiors, and expressive emphasis within text. It can also perform as a secondary brand typeface for identities that want a traditional foundation with a more dynamic, humanist slant.
The tone feels literary and cultivated, with a warm, handwritten undercurrent beneath a traditional serif structure. It suggests elegance and motion rather than strict formality, bringing a personable, editorial character to longer passages and display lines.
Likely designed to provide an italic that feels more calligraphic and text-driven than a purely geometric or mechanical italic, using flared terminals and moderated contrast to keep readability while adding warmth and movement.
Capitals are clean and classical in outline but keep the same flared, tapered finishing seen in the lowercase, maintaining coherence across the set. Numerals follow the italic movement and show rounded, slightly expressive forms that match the text color and cadence.
